I hate to say it, but I agree there should be separate categories for "Contract Performer of the Year" and "Non-Contract Performer of the Year". I've been both, a gonzo girl & a contract girl. So, I know what it's like. It's just the girls who consistently bust their ass who work over 100 movies a year & do anal, etc. Deserve to be recognized. They are the ones doing the dirty work that other don't do. And then for all of the "Contract Girls" be against each other. Because Stormy is right from a contract girl's perspective because you don't shoot as much but you could do kick ass scenes. But obviously it's harder for you to compete with a girl who's a free agent & not contracted. That's just the way it is right now... I just want everyone to get the credit they deserve...Gonzo Girl...Contract Girl...Male...Female...whoever!! xox Teagan WWW.TEAGANRAW.COM
And Brianna is sweet, cheerful, super cute and pretty in person, absolutely adorable and needs us to come up with new words in tribute to her wonderfulness.
i never toot my own horn, unless its with my asshole! more on that later... i will never acknowledge myself when there are so many girls out there that dont get the recognition they deserve. regardless of who takes home the award for this category, i feel that all of the girls nominated this year deserve an award...or a cookie, something! we have all worked our butts off and i am happy just being nominated. true dat, vj aint no stuck up bitch!

How amazing is VJ?! Forget about how beautiful, sexy and talented she is...she is so down to earth, real, and honest...the total package!
hahaha. that's badass about the whistle. you could be a ventriliquist and make it look like it's talking and stuff. you don't fart? everybody farts. (edit to change a ? to a .) Edited by - chodemasterj on 12/1/2007 3:31:10 AM
Yeah, I love me some Brooke Haven and I have been asked a lot since both Gianna Lynn & Brooke are in the same category who i'm rooting for and personally I think Brooke's body of work has been stronger but that does not discount how solid Gianna Lynn is, she's really been building her year up...next year they I wouldn't be surprised if they were up for Performer of the Year, especially Miss B. Haven.
Ironic. I talked to Eva at great length about the nominations, and in doing so it came up that while she was really excited about the "Best Actress" nom, she was concerned that had it not been for "Upload" she would not have received any noms. Also of note that this year is the first time she ever received any AVN noms, which really boggles my mind being that this chick has been delivering solid for 4 years, out performing, out acting, outlasting many a flavor of the month and why she doesn't have a bucket full of awards, let alone noms is, in IMHO, tragic.

Alex/ Monstar- I PROMISE you I'm gonna badger EVERYONE at AVN to watch E for Eva when it comes out in January. Jonni is SO excited about it - he's only been THIS excited about Bikini Clad Cum Sluts and G for Gianna this year - and I think his fans can agree those are two of his best movies EVER. Whereas I think Eva could/should have been in FPOT this year... she's getting more beautiful every year. :)

"MANIAC KILLA - If you are a current gonzo afficianado, (and from your writing that appears to be the case), and you have no knowledge whatsoever of who Brianna Love is, then that speaks volumes. That is a pretty serious disconnect. I'm not saying that you have to love, or even like Brianna Love. Or even have seen any of her movies. But to not have heard of her? Brianna Love has made over 100 movies. Over half of them this year. This was definitely her breakout year. She is NOT a contract girl, thus she has appeared in productions this year from virtually every notable gonzo company in porn. From the big boys, right on down to the two knuckleheads with a camcorder. And all the internet sites. She may have also been the girl with the most front boxcovers this year. Without question, she's in the top five. And there were three high profile, highly publicized productions solely about her, released this summer. From initial responses on this and other internet forums, she and Annette Schwartz are the odds-on favorites, among industry folks and fans alike, to win the Best Female Performer Of The Year Award. It would have been pretty hard to be even a casual fan in the world of gonzo this year and miss her. BSD"
I dont pay much attention to a girl unless she reaaaally does it for me like the girls i mention in my posts. if a girl is highly publicized i tend to veer away because usually that means to me its all bark no bite. but i looked her up, she seems pretty hot and is a good performer. not a fav (sorry not yet at least) but def a hot chick. Def no alexis texis thank god, that was another case of LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME DO......nothing. ya know. thanx for the info BSD
Just a few thoughts....(Great thread by the way, lots of good input.) From the Blog on 12/7 Since we don’t have a set criteria for this award, let’s establish one. For THIS DISCUSSION only, let’s say that it should be for women who are great performers (possibly great actresses) and who don’t get the big props. That means that a lot of these women fit. Trina Michaels and Mia Rose stand out for me right away. Mia might still be a little new to be put in the Unsung starlet. She is good enough and hot enough that she should be “sung.” Trina has been around a while, isn’t what the industry would call a “star” but if you ask a porn consumer about Trina, they will certainly know that she is great in scenes and is always good for a stroke or two. I think that Adrianna Nicole fits into this cateory as well, but she is a bit new, isn’t she. Just like Bobbi Starr. Come on, give her a chance before you unsing her. I like seeing Brooke Haven, Gianna Lynn and Faith Leon on this list. I do think that these women have flown mostly under the radar and all of them are hot. How about some women who didn’t make this list? Mika Tan? Alana Evans? Cindy Crawford? How about Dana DeArmond and Joanna Angel? These women have been in some high profile projects, can act a bit and by the way, in case you hadn’t noticed….give great scenes. No Performer or Unsung noms for them? I think they both got overlooked. The biggest name on this list is a big surprise. Gianna (Gianna Michaels) is easily one of the hottest women in the industry. She gives great scenes, has one of the best racks in the history of the biz and (I would argue) deserves to be up there for Performer of the Year. If we factor that in, then I guess she really does belong on this list. Somehow Gianna managed not to get nominated for Performer, so here she is. Unsung by definition. Not a bad list overall.

Rog, thank you for a very good post. I agree with all your comments, except, for Gianna Michaels. Gianna was one of 5 gals nominated by XRCO last year for Performer of Year! She was also nominated by Rog and CAVR. She won both XRCO and AVN awards last year. If you separated The Stars into Gonzo and Contract Star's, Gianna is in the top 3 (Brianna Love & Jenna Haze & Gianna). And, factor in the ton on internet work she does. And, was she not the hottest gal at AEE 2007! Instead of being Unsung, I consider her to be a SuperStar! The rest of your post is very thoughtful and right on! Den
Hey Den....thanks. Perhaps I should clarify.....given Gianna's pedigree.....she SHOULD be up for Performer. Since she is not, then she truly is unsung :-) I still can't believe she was knocked out in the first round of the Fan Faves...ouch. Rog Rog Reviews
ROG - I can't believe it either, although I'm sure I know the reason. Gianna is, and has been for at least two years, one of the most accessible, aggressive, energetic, entertaining, and sexually volcanic performers in porn. I don't know that I've heard of anyone, in or out of the industry, who speaks anything negative about what she does. She is a first rank porn girl. If Alexis Texas ever had dreams of being a top porn performer, WITHOUT doing anal, she would do well to pattern herself after Gianna. This backlash against Gianna that seems to have grown among many fans over the anal thing just blows my mind. This girl does everything she does better than 99% of the porn girls out there, yet she's getting crucified for what she doesn't do. Unbelievable. BSD
I think this award was first introduced last year. Mika Tan said the name of the award seemed a bit insulting at first - it does sound a little bit like an encouragement award! Maybe they could change the name to "best uncontracted female performer" but I guess this takes away the prestige from their "best female performer" award and resulting sales for the big studios. I prefer the talent in this lineup to the "main" award
